No crime our brothers and sisters commit really surprises us anymore, but confirms to us our nation&#8217;s brutal history, of which for a time we became a part, and offers us a reminder that nothing&#8217;s really changed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeah, way to support your comrades, there, Matthis. None of us can think for ourselves and we&#8217;re just puppets of the machine which encourages us to pee on dead enemy.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Yes America, our military is addicted to war porn, and this fact may ultimately usurp any legacy of honor or glory the military may cling to. No longer can the world be duped by the government-controlled facade of the U.S. soldier as a liberating force for good. Our image is that of an armed, drunken fiend in a public square with his pants down pissing into the wind. Sure, we may be an affront to those around us, but we&#8217;re only really soiling ourselves.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Isn&#8217;t it great that we have veterans&#8217; advocates like Matthis to stand up for us and improve the image that the American public has of it&#8217;s warriors? <\/p>\n<p>Actually, no. Matthis has a history of trying to drag all veterans down to his cowardly level. He justifies his lack of a martial record by elevating himself on the fallen bodies of his supposed comrades. Matthis is a pussy who didn&#8217;t want his New York City college student lifestyle disrupted by his commitment to the country &#8211; that&#8217;s why he didn&#8217;t deploy. It wasn&#8217;t due to any commitment to a principal or greater good. And all of this kerfuffle that he has created since has been to justify his cowardice to the rest of us.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to Liam for the link.
